The
Yahoo! Directory was a
web directory which at one time rivaled
DMOZ in size. The directory was
Yahoo!'s first offering. When Yahoo! changed to
crawler-based listings for its main results in October 2002, the human-edited directory's significance dropped, but it was still being updated as of April 16, 2014. Users could browse thousands of listings which were organized in 7 or more tiers. For example, if a user was looking for a site on chess they might follow a path such as: recreation -> games -> board games -> chess.
